Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a wife to my amazing husband, Austin — we’ve been married since May 2021 — and a mom to two spunky little boys who keep me on my toes every day.

My journey toward a cleaner, more intentional lifestyle actually began back in 2020, when I started making small swaps — first with my skincare and hair care products, and then slowly ditching candles and other everyday toxins along the way.

But in 2024, everything changed. After giving birth with my second, I experienced severe postpartum anxiety and was prescribed medication that was given to me incorrectly. It led to a terrifying experience that landed me in the hospital with extreme depression. That moment became a major turning point for me and my family.

Since then, we’ve committed to a different path — one rooted in non-toxic products, natural remedies, and informed choices. We decided to ditch pharmaceuticals altogether and take a closer look at every medical product or recommendation given to us. Now, whether it’s food, medicine, or household items, we research, question, and make decisions that truly support our family’s well-being.

It’s been a journey of learning, healing, and growing — one small step at a time. My hope is that, as I share what we’ve learned here on The Hampel House, you’ll find encouragement and inspiration to make your own mindful changes, too.

Whether you’re here for simple swaps, natural living tips, or just a reminder that your health matters — I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. Let’s walk this path toward a more vibrant, intentional life together.

With love,
Olivia Hampel
